Who we are

PSS is a social enterprise that supports people to live happy, healthy and hopeful lives, whether they’re:

• adults who have learning or physical disabilities, challenges with their mental health or difficulties as they’re getting older;

• people in and around the criminal justice system; or

• families who’ve been through unsteady times.

No-matter who you are or where your life has taken you, we’ll listen, understand and find a way to help you reach your goals.

Our vision:

A time when everyone has the power and freedom to live a life beyond limits.

Our mission:

Our mission is simple: to create amazing support that’s shaped by real lives, real voices, and the belief that everyone should have the power to live life on their own terms.

What we do

We support people

We've got a wide range of ways we support people to live their life beyond limits.

We work alongside people

We do things with the people we support, not to them.

We change lives

We're proud to have played a part in changing the lives of the people we work with.

Making sure you belong

We work in an anti-oppressive way to make sure everyone feels they belong with us.

High quality support

We give the type of support we'd want our own families to have.

Keeping you safe

Making sure you're safe while you get support from us is our top priority.

Finding new ways to help all the time

We don’t wait around for other people to find ways to help, we create them ourselves, just as we’ve done for the last 100 years.

We’re big on making great ideas come to life at PSS. We've even got a member of our team whose job it is to listen to ideas from our team, Shared Lives carers and the people we support and help make them a reality.

In the words of our hometown faves, The Beatles, ‘It’s getting better all the time’.
